So I am not a big television guy and outside of football I am much more likely to read a book or browse the internet. My daughter got me Netflix for Christmas and it looks like I have lots of options. My question is what have I missed out on not watching the tube in years? I am watching breaking bad on a suggestion from my brother but I need more. Any movies or series that you would recommend? Thanks and I appreciate any recommendations I get.

Stranger Things was the best Netflix series of '16.

Narcos if you like drugs, violence, and women.

I'm currently watching The Colony. It's an aliens-take-over-the-world sci-fi series. There are lots of good sci-fi movies and series on Netflix. Enjoy.

Once you like a series Netflix will suggest other shows/movies in that genre.

Never watched a single episode until we got Netflix. I heard many talk about the series while it was on, but never piqued my interest at the time. As I said, we got Netflix so I checked it out and got hooked. The show/series is named "Lost".

I'll echo the recommendations for Stranger Things. Quite enjoyable.

Also recommend "Glitch." Aussie TV series with 1 season on there (more to come this year). Different spin on the zombie genre.

Just finished "The OA." Extremely well acted, even if the story got a little wonky towards the end.

Not sure how far into Peaky Blinders you are, but it's worth throwing on subtitles (which is an option with Netflix), especially since you like to read, anyway.

Black Mirror is really good as well, though if you're not into current technology and social media trends, that might not resonate as much.

If you're into culture, travel, and food; watch Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. Guy is an essayist at heart, and each show is basically a beautifully written creative non-fiction essay on a country/city. Really good stuff.

It looks like you've already found Breaking Bad as well... Mad Men is also really good, and something your wife will most likely enjoy.
